Winner of the Grand Jury prize at the 1997 Slamdance Film Festival, Daniel J. Harris’ foul-mouthed indie takes a look at the wasted lives of five middle-age traveling salesmen who sell bibles and guns. Harris’ ultra-campy tale is set-off when it’s announced that the company’s big wigs are going to shut down the Anaheim branch if the salesman working there don’t get a grip on their shoddy sales numbers. To save their jobs, the Anaheim crew travels west and encroaches upon the sales territory of the company’s Las Vegas branch, thus waging a violent turf war. Featuring impressive performances from non-professional actors, IFC Films’ The Bible and Gun Club is a hilarious trip through the bizarre underbelly of American culture.
